Not quite the same thing, but I have my mobile network set up to forward every call to a Twilio number which just states that my number doesn't accept calls. It sends me an SMS so I know someone tried to. It's great. People who do need to call me then will just use FaceTime Audio or WhatsApp calls.
- savrajsingh 8y agoInteresting. Do you state FaceTime/WhatsApp in the twilio message?
- BillinghamJ 8y agoNope, don't want to encourage it.
- cblades 8y agoThat seems really obnoxious for anyone that has your number. Do you just not give your number out?
- greedo 8y agoBecause spam calls don't occur because you gave your number out, but because the spammers either farm your number from a "partner" or iterate through numbers.
- Terretta 8y agoThat’s one class. Another class is if the number was in a credit application or marketing form, then got resold or data-breached. I only put burner numbers on forms. They start to get called about 90 - 180 days later. Not all, but enough you don’t want to give your cell out.
- BillinghamJ 8y agoI avoid giving it out wherever possible. Some forms require phone numbers, in which case I generally try to enter an obviously-incorrect number.
- tones411 8y agoI like this idea.
